I'm flying to Cuba on Friday and I'm looking for a good kiteboard/-surf spot with a school (don't have my own gear, need to rent!).Can anyone recommend me a spot/school/shop over there??Thanks in advance!

Varadero - Go to the end of the peninsula (take a bus) - cross the dunes before Marina Palace hotel.That's the best spot.Normally you will find a local there who can teach you kite surfing and/or rent kite/board

As far as I know there's no such thing as kitesurf gear rental in Cuba. There's however a Russian kite-station on Cayo Guillermo (have no bloody idea how they managed to open one), so you might have some luck renting equipment from them.

Lol, unfortunately the last time I went there, I wasn't aware of that kite station's existence and since we wanted to avoid the usual (for this time of the year) Cayo Gullermo's crowds - we stayed on the neighboring island of Cayo Coco.

I was there at end of November and they were supposedly getting a permit to operate as a school "early next month" They are located in the building at the end of the Cojimar closest to the Iberostar, they had a brand of kites called Faith which I'd never seen before. Unfortunately one of their guys thought it fine to throw down his tricks (he was pretty admittedly pretty good) right next to the beach oblivious to the presence of others. Made a great first impression
